In order to achieve more complex geometries and machining operations, such as milling parts with intricate shapes or machining features on multiple sides of a part without having to reposition it manually, 4-axis machining is a type of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining that uses four axes of movement: the X, Y, and Z axes (which are standard in 3-axis machining) plus a fourth axis, commonly referred to as the A-axis. We specialize in cheap 4 axis cnc precision machining. From medical implants to aerospace components, we provide stable and reliable machining solutions, supporting small batch trials to large-scale production, ensuring that each cnc 3018 4th axis CNC product meets strict quality standards.

Beyond 3D: The Power of Four Axis CNC

4 Axis CNC Machining

Traditional 3-axis machines reach their limits when your parts demand intricate contours or compound angles. Our 4-axis CNC capabilities add rotational precision, allowing simultaneous machining from all angles in a single setup - reducing fixture changes, minimizing errors, and accelerating turnaround for mission-critical components. Whether you're prototyping advanced fluid dynamics parts or producing high-tolerance automotive tooling, the fourth axis transforms how we approach precision. Let's discuss where rotational machining can optimize your next project.

4 Axis Machining Service Working Process

Designing your CAD model

The process begins with the creation of a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model of the part that needs to be machined. This is one of the most crucial parts of the four-axis CNC machining process. We apply the latest mold design software and CAD software tools, such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro-E, and UG, to ensure precision in the CNC machining design and mold development.

Converting the CAD model into a CNC program

In this step, the design is translated into CNC-compatible codes that are readable by the CNC machine. The tool path needs to be programmed according to the shape and size of the workpiece, ensuring compatibility with the four-axis CNC machining setup. The cutting path and cutting depth are determined through CAD software and CAM software, which helps optimize the machining process for precision and efficiency.

Setting up the machine

The 4 axis cnc lathe machine needs to be set up for the specific job in the CNC machining process. The workpiece is mounted on the CNC machine, and the machine is configured with the appropriate cutting tools for the task. During this setup, precise adjustments are made to ensure proper alignment and to optimize the cutting path for 4th axis CNC milling or other advanced CNC operations.

Starting operation

The machine then begins the machining process. It moves in the X, Y, and Z directions while the mounted workpiece rotates on the A axis, allowing continuous machining at different angles. Once the machining process is completed, the machinist needs to clean the machine and tools and take them to the right position.
